THE CIRCLE

■v.

1936

PUBLISHED BY THE SENIOR CLASS

ABBOT ACADEMY

ANDOVER, MASSACHUSETTS

For all her quiet life flowed on

As meadow streamlets flow,
Where fresher green reveals alone

The noiseless ways they go.

Her path shall brighten more and more

Unto the perfect day;
She cannot fail of peace who bore

Such peace with her away.

For still her holy living meant

No duty left undone;
The heavenly and the human blent

Their kindred lives in one.

She kept her line of rectitude

With love's unconscious ease;
Her kindly instincts understood

All gentle courtesies.

The dear Lord's best interpreters

Are humble human souls;
The Gospel of a life like hers

Is more than books or scrolls.

From scheme and creed the light goes out,

The saintly fact survives;
The blessed Master none can doubt

Revealed in holy lives.

John Greenleaf Whittier

We Must Not Mourn

We must not mourn for her who was Youth's Spring,
For her whose wise and gentle patience beamed
With steady warmth upon each wakening
Young life, until the Beauty it had dreamed
Grew strong within each heart and growing, knew
The larger vision of her spacious skies.
W 7 e must not mourn for her who held Youth true
To its own strength, drew it with smiling eyes
To dare its own potentiality
Adventuring courageously for good, —
For her who, still believing, lived to see
Mature, her garden of young womanhood.
We must not mourn for her. Her life was spent
For Youth and crowned with its accomplishment.

Helen Danforth Prudden '13

Our Miss Bailey

Dear heart — suddenly still —

Your book of life was beautifully written.

Stinging, the tears which fill

Our eyes,

Against our will they flow,

Knowing you would not wish it so.

Soon, all too soon, the story's ended,

Just in life's afternoon.

Reverently the pages we retrace.

Commanding strength is there, rare grace,

And ever as we read, we see

The radiant beauty of your face.

The love to Abbot which we bore,

Most gladly given to you,

Was lavishly returned with more.

Dear heart — so strangely still —

As the great royalties of friendship

Like a vast sea come rolling in,

Your undying self will wake and thrill

In those Elysian meadows, fair and wide,

Which men name Paradise.

Class Song

Onward still and upward
Thirty-six will aim,
Striving for the highest,
Led by Abbot's name.
Higher ever higher
Will our banners rise,
Till our crimson colors
Mount up to the skies,
And we've kept the standards
Abbot glorifies.

Tree Song

Ring Song

Grow strong and tall, dear tree,
And may you ever be
Our symbol of eternity,
And memory.

Reach deeper in the earth,
That we may find your worth
In faith and tears and human mirth,
And memory.

Stretch higher to the sky,
As wings outspread to fly,
The wind and storms of life defy,
In memory.

Eleanor Wells

Let this narrow band of gold
Like a story-book unfold
All its memories of old.

Let it on my finger rest,
Always to remind me lest
I should fail to do my best.

Let me ever hold it dear,

Let me journey without fear,

It will keep those memories near.

Let me onward ever strive,

It will make old friendships thrive,

It will keep the past alive.

Mim is our very attractive post-mistress, but that's
not her only talent! Certainly not! She can dance
most superbly, and can she play hockey! What's
more she has a brother at Annapolis and a ? at West
Point.

"Floss"

14 Wolcott Ave., Andover, Mass.

Four Tears

"Flossie, got your Latin done?" The question goes
unanswered as we hear a familiar, "Don't call me
Flossie." But "Flossie" just seems to fit such a
radiant person and a head of almost too curly curls.
We wish she would write a book of How to Look like a
Vogue Fashion Plate, or better still, Exciting Week-
ends. By the way, Sally, we haven't been long in
finding those latest week-ends have been to the
tune of "Alexander's Ragtime Band."

Four Tears

Red-checked shirts are this year's most important
skiing style. Ask Annie. Also ask her all the ques-
tions about the care and feeding of ants/aunts, and
the knitting of sweaters and socks. Annie is not only
our authority on these, she is our pleasantly firm
Stu. G. President, our friend in need, and our
favorite story-teller. We can't imagine Room 22
without Annie !

MARY DOOLEY

391 Prospect St., Lawrence, Mass.

Two Tears

Sparkling eyes, a dimple in her cheek, an adorable
lisp, and a never-failing good nature — that's Mary
to those who know her. And when she drives (?)
that car around the circle! — All we can say is,
"You'd better watch your step."

"Deede"

Parlin, N. J.

Two Tears

Deede's certainly one of those good things that
come in little packages. But being small just makes
her even cuter. We all know what wit and good
humor she's forever startling us with — those puns!
Incidentally, we've heard that there's more than
one midshipman who is still quite infatuated — How

How our skiing has improved under our exalted

refer you to a certain "purple pants")! And this
outdoor-girl is very clever inside, too; her knitting
is the world's eighth wonder; and, as for those
Algebra problems — then, too, one look into the
"Inkey" depths of those brown eyes is enough to
send any man for a goal — or Lucy !

most successful one! She has extraordinary artistic
ability, too — the rapid way her left hand writes and

Yes, that's Pri. Although most of the time, Pri's shy
as they come, if you can get her to imitate the
hog-callers, you'll hear plenty of noise. With that
gorgeous hair of yours you'll be a second Jean
Harlow some day soon. But whether you choose
Hollywood or domesticity, we wish you luck.

MARION STANTON MOONEY

"Mooney"
1952 Elm St., Manchester, N. H.

Smith Three Tears

It must be the Irish in her that makes Mooney so
wildly witty. She can actually make a pun amusing
— and, of course, artistic. As for tact, Mooney
always says what she means, but she usually means
the right thing. Some day she'll be a famous epi-
grammist, satirist, and humorist, but meanwhile
she is spending her time keeping the Seniors lively.

HELEN MARIE O'BRIEN

"Hawee"
11 Ridge Rd., Lawrence, Mass.

Two Years

Hawee — our sum-oothie day-scholar — has cars,
looks, personality, puns, and winks galore! She's
another member of our class that was a "visitor" at
Annapolis. Hawee has, at times, the most"Angell"ic
expression, but you can't fool us, no matter how
hard you try. Hope you'll "come up and see us,
some time," Hawee.

When you see a small, dark-haired girl with a good-
natured expression bearing down on you, you may
be sure that this is Rosalie. With her acting ability,
she has given us many enjoyable moments. And,
did you ever hear of her cute little brother? We'd
love to meet him, Rosalie.

Erskine Five Tears

Introducing our illustrious Head-of-Day-Scholars,
who's known to everyone for her charming per-
sonality and grand supply of diplomacy. These
make her our favorite — and she's game for any-
thing, be it algebra or a six-foot ski jump. We look
forward to seeing our dimpled darling as our lead-
ing dramatic actress in '46. We know that's not a
mere dream.

Oxford, Me.

Four Tears

She may be quiet, she may be modest, but she fits
to a T the old expression, "Still waters run deep."
We can envy her cleverness, too, for it will probably
bring her success in whatever career she chooses.
But we can't dismiss El without a word about those
large and beautiful eyes. Don't you wish your own
were like them?

Versatility personified! — for our Carrie can do
'most anything at all! She can sing as well as play
(her sonatas are positively uplifting), she's a wow
at tennis and squash, and one of the best song
leaders we've ever had. The best of sports, she can
take all sorts of kidding about her most original
sweater and skirt combinations, and she can dish
out some of the best puns. In return, Carrie, we're
betting on your heaps of personality and ample
supply of brains to carry you places !

very artistic and, oh yes, she sings and can speak
Spanish. Why, if we didn't know she came from
New Jersey, we'd think she lived in Cuba. Yes, sir,
Anne's our class president too, and we wouldn't

"Have you heard? We're going home next week!"
It must be Sarge, wandering around with a ball of
yarn under her arm and her needles clicking almost
automatically. She is probably dressed in a pair of
shorts, ski boots and a red flannel muffler. Circuses
are never very far away when Sarge is around; but
they're nice circuses with plenty of good sense and
variety.

4 Boylston Terr., West Medford, Mass.

Three Tears

Sally has the most infectious grin we know. And
she never stops with just a grin, there's always a
chuckle or a friendly word behind. She's just
"Sally." There's no other word that describes her
adequately, but when you find a word that means
friendliness and sympathy and a sublime sense of
the ridiculous, you'll have a synonym for "Sally."

We hear a great deal about Marblehead and
"Lennie,"butwe're never bored for Pat's remarks are
always unexpected, and are enlivened by references
to Chaucer. She's the sort of person we know will

Vassar Three Tears

Personality and Polly are the same thing. Both are
made of brains, unreasonable blonde hair, and
shrieks. Polly adds an angelic voice to this list of
attractions, and indulges in every conceivable form
of music from lullabies to "Soup of the Evening."
She is continually surprising us, for her laugh is
never the same twice, varying in tone, mood, and
length of duration. Life would be very dull without
you, Polly.

"Who's that little girl with the big eyes?" "Why
that's Tony." For a little girl, Tony has a lot in her.
She's capable of making quite a bit of noise, and, on
the other hand, she can be as quiet as a turtle.
She's talented in dramatics and all her studies. Ask
Tony some time about certain letters she receives
every so often. I bet she'd blush!

22 Thorndike St., Beverly, Mass.

Three Years

Mary is such a grand all-round person that it's hard
to know where to start to tell about her. She plays
a wonderful game of hockey, she managed the
Senior Play with its hundred and one details, and
one morning she got half-way down to the dining-
room before she remembered that she hadn't put
on a skirt! It's quite unnecessary to say that Mary is
our class musician, and that we don't know what
the Senior Class would have done without her.

Box 259, Kingston, Jamaica, B.W.I.
Wheaton Two Tears

Behold Eleanor, our literary genius! At some time
or other we've all been rather envious of Eleanor's
descriptive powers and poetic ability. It can't be the
climate in Jamaica and it can't be the fruit down
there because we eat bananas too, so it must be
that Eleanor has brains. In spite of all this, Eleanor
knows a good joke when she hears it.

Class History

The class of 1936 has always had to struggle to make itself heard, especially in the
line of Christmas verses. There are only four of the people in the class who started it
off on its course at Abbot. Now in the Senior year, our numbers have grown but we
are still a small and, let's say, select group. The class's Prep, Junior and Junior-Mid
years, chief characteristic was, of course, to impress people that we weren't the babies
we were supposed to be.

It was in the Senior-Mid year that we began to come into our element. Besides
such major incidents as the Tea Dance, and being able to go to the Prom, it was full of
nice little things like getting our class sweaters. You can't quite describe the Senior
year. It is rather satisfying, though, to be told that you are responsible for setting
good standards for the rest of the school. It gives one an important feeling. Things
that we had waited for so long, like Intervale, really came and were not disappoint-
ing. The happiness of Intervale and the time when Senior rings are gained come only
once in our life.

Our class has not done anything startingly different from other classes, but it is
the people in the class, who each and everyone will make it different from the many
other classes. There will be only one Annie Dodge, with her side-splitting stories of
her family, although there will be many Stu. G. heads. There will only by one Anne
Russell with her bubbling laugh although many Senior presidents. Last but not least,
we are Miss Bailey's last Senior class, although she will not be here to send us out from
Abbot. I believe everyone of us feels that Miss Bailey has not gone, but is still proud of
us when we try to carry out her ideals for ourselves and for Abbot. We, who have
heard so many of her beautiful morning chapel programs, praying for those who are in
need, doubt, or sorrow, praying for peace, and praying to God to guide the rulers of
our country, cannot help feeling this. I can see, without half trying, Miss Bailey stand-
ing in chapel perhaps putting a spark of humor into an announcement by the tone of
her voice or by the expression of her face. I think the thought that has guided many
of us this year is, "Would Miss Bailey have wished it?" and perhaps that is a good
thought to take out into the world with us.

Intervale Songs

(Tune: The Man on the Flying Trapeze)

Oh, we slid through the snow with the greatest of ease,
We daring young girls on our snow-shoes and skis;
Our actions were graceful, all farmers we pleased,
And our ski-pants are well worn away.

Oh, we read True Romances till midnight or more,

And we sent picture-postcards galore;

We walked (gesture) to North Conway by light of the moon,

And we hated to come back so soon, Ohhhhh —

We slid through the snow with the greatest of ease,
We daring young girls on our snow-shoes and skis;
Our actions were graceful, all farmers we pleased,
And our ski-pants are well worn away.

(Tune: The Music Goes 'Round and 'Round)

Oh, we got into the train,

And the wheels went 'round and 'round.

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,

And we got out there.

Oh, we piled into the sleigh,
And we merrily whisked away,
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
And we jumped out there.

Oh, we got into our skis,

And we fell on the backs of our knees,

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,

Listen to the groans come out.

Oh, we got into our skates,
And we did some figure eights,
Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow,
And we landed here (gesture) .

Oh, we ate some juicy steaks,

And we lost our tummy aches,

Um, um, um, um, um, um, yeah, oh yeah

And so we called for more.

Oh, we climbed back into the train,

And the wheels went 'round and 'round,

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,

And we landed here. (Yelled) And so will you!!!

(Tune: A Little Bit of Heaven)

Sure a little bit of heaven

Fell from out the sky one day,

And it nestled in New Hampshire

Not so many miles away;

And when the angels found it

Sure it looked so sweet and fair,

They said, "Suppose we leave it,

For it looks so peaceful there."

So they sprinkled it with sunshine

Just to make the pine trees grow,

They're the finest ones that can be found

No matter where you go.

And they placed the mountains round it

Just to keep away the gale,

And when they had it finished,

Sure they called it Intervale!

(Tune: Vagabond Song)

37's marching

Onward always marching

Striving for the best we know

We'll be loyal ever

To our school we'll never

Be unfaithful or untrue.

Raise our banner green up to the sky

Never let its meaning to us die

Abbot, when we leave you

We will not forget you

37's marching on.

Parting Hymn

Father, I know that all my life

Is portioned out for me;
The changes that are sure to come

: I do not fear to see; :
But I ask Thee for a present mind

Intent on pleasing Thee.

I ask Thee for a thoughtful love

Through constant watching wise,

To meet the glad with joyful smiles,

: And to wipe the weeping eyes; :

And a heart at leisure from itself,
To soothe and sympathize.

Wherever in the world I am,

In whatsoe'er estate,
I have a fellowship of hearts

: To keep and cultivate; :
And a work of lowly love to do

For the Lord on whom I wait.

So I ask Thee for the daily strength
To none that ask denied,

And a mind to blend with outward life
: While keeping at Thy side; :

Content to fill a little space
If Thou be glorified.

CAPTAIN APPLEJACK

A charming, remarkably well acted play to say the least — just imagine an at-

the parts. Dreamland would certainly be the place to be if it always proved to be
as thrilling and wonderful as did Captain Applejack's (our Miss Stone). We only
wish these plays were a weekly occurrence!

CLASSROOM SCENE, 1885

Whispering was frowned upon fifty years ago too,
but you can't really blame the young ladies . . .
you see their graduation pictures had just arrived.

UPONT photographs have been a source of pride and
pleasure to fair graduates-to-be for more than fifty years . . .
not only at Commencement but throughout the years, as they
recall the friends and activities of the last year at school.

The Racquet Used Fifty Years Ago and Grip
Recommended by a Tennis Authority

The new permanent- surface tennis court was ready
the first week in April . . .

Abbot girls now can start the Spring season three
weeks earlier, and play later in the Fall . . .

This means more healthy, invigorating exercise, and
better tennis . . .

Congratulations to the Academy — and to its forward-
looking trustees.

Good Yearbooks Don't "Just Happen'

X HEY may vary tremendously in size, design, and cost,
but all successful yearbooks have one thing in common . . .
they represent hours of careful planning and painstaking
workmanship .

The Abbot Circle is no exception. The staff
has worked long and diligently in order to make it an
interesting and accurate record of the school year.

It has been our privilege to assist in the pub-
lication of the book, working in close association with the
members of the board. We wish to take this opportunity
to thank them for their co-operation and to congratulate
them on the results of their labors.
